The Kerala Story Storyline
"The Kerala Story" is an upcoming Indian movie in Hindi language, directed by Sudipto Sen and produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah. The film's plot follows the story of a group of women from Kerala who are converted to Islam and join the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). One of the converted Muslim women, Fatima Ba, narrates her ordeal of how she once wanted to become a nurse but was abducted from her home and manipulated by religious vanguards and turned into an ISIS terrorist, ultimately landing her in an Afghanistan jail.
The Kerala Story Controvercy
On 26th April 2023, the official trailer for "The Kerala Story" was launched on the YouTube channel named "Sunshine Pictures." However, the film has courted controversy for portraying itself as a real story and making false claims that thousands of women from Kerala are being converted to Islam and recruited into ISIS. The movie has faced allegations of promoting the RSS Sangh Parivar's agenda.
The teaser, released on 3 November 2022, featured Adah Sharma playing the character of Fathima Ba a Hindu Malayali nurse who had converted to Islam and joined the ISIS, before ending up in an Afghan jail. She identifies to be one of the 32,000 girls, from the Hindu and Christian communities, who are missing from Kerala and have been recruited to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) after being converted to Islam. The events portrayed in the film seem to be inspired by four women from Kerala who converted to Islam and traveled with their husbands to Afghanistan to join ISIS between 2016 and 2018. They were part of a 21-member group from Kerala to join ISIS in 2016, remain incarcerated in Afghanistan since surrendering in 2019.
The film is captioned as being based on a real-life incident, while the reliability of the statistics shown are not backed by any real evidence. The claimed figures are widely inaccurate, being based on mistranslations, misquotes and extrapolations from misrepresentations of unrelated statistics.
The Observer Research Foundation in a 2019 report notes that about 60 to 70 individuals had joined ISIS from Kerala between 2014 and 2018. According to Indian government figures not more than a total of 100 – 200 Indians had joined the organization over the years, one of the smallest figures of any country with a substantial Muslim population. The US Department of State in its 2020 report on terrorism had documented that there were a total of 66 individuals from India who were affiliated with ISIS at that time.
